Chapter 347 You've Cried Away All Your Good Fortune
Jiang Chengye was a carefree person. He was angry because Jiang Yu didn't respect him. But not long after, he was back to eating and drinking normally and sleeping soundly at night.
He always slept until late morning, and was sound asleep when he dreamt of his wife, Lu Yifang, speaking to him gently, while his daughter sat respectfully below, listening to his reprimand. The scene was simply too beautiful.
But just then, Aunt Huang's cry shattered the beautiful scene. He groggily opened his eyes and saw Aunt Huang sitting on the edge of his bed, weeping with tears streaming down her face.
He used to like Aunt Huang's delicate appearance, but now she looks ugly no matter how he looks at her.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry. You're crying away all my good fortune," Jiang Chengye said irritably.
His beautiful dream was shattered by his tears.
Aunt Huang stopped crying, but her face still showed grief. She tugged at Jiang Chengye's sleeve, "Brother Ye, my brother is dying, please, please save him!"
Jiang Chengye shook off her and got out of bed. Immediately, several maids entered, carrying basins of water and towels. Aunt Huang rushed over, took Jiang Chengye's hand and placed it in the basin, gently washing each finger one by one, then washing his face...
Her attentive and gentle care calmed Jiang Chengye's anger considerably. Aunt Huang was favored not only because of her good looks, but more importantly, because she knew how to serve others and had a keen eye for detail.
Seeing that Jiang Chengye was in a better mood, she took the clothes from the maid and dressed him while saying, "It's all my fault for disturbing your rest, my lord. I just heard that the Lu family was going to send my brother to the yamen, and I lost my composure in my haste."
Hearing her say this, Jiang Chengye's anger almost completely dissipated. Then he heard Aunt Huang say again, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. I am now your woman, so I shouldn't always be thinking about my family. I won't do that again. I only hope that you won't get tired of me in the future."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. Jiang Chengye, who had already been comforted, felt a pang of heartache upon seeing her pitiful little face.
After Aunt Huang finished dressing him, she said, "I never said I wouldn't get involved in your brother's matter. After we finish eating, I'll go to the Lu family."
"Thank you, Yelang, thank you, Yelang." Aunt Huang cried tears of joy. Jiang Chengye frowned and said, "Don't cry like that in the future, it's bad luck."
Aunt Huang was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "It's all my fault."
Jiang Chengye hummed in agreement, walked to the dining table, sat down, and was served his meal by Aunt Huang. Then, he went out with his attendant. At the gate, just as Jiang Chengye was about to get into the carriage, the attendant cautiously said, "Master, didn't the Duke say you should go out as little as possible?"
Jiang Chengye was taken aback, frowned and thought for a while before saying, "It's nothing, I'll be right back."
He was also afraid of being set up, but now that he's mentally prepared, he should be fine.
"Perhaps you should bring a few more men?" the servant suggested in a low voice, genuinely worried about something going wrong. The people who used to serve this master had all been beaten to death.
"No need." Jiang Chengye said as he got into the carriage. It wasn't that he was being stubborn and not bringing anyone. He was going to the Lu family today to plead for them. Although he didn't really care about the Lu family, if he brought a bunch of people with him, they might think he was there to cause trouble.
He wanted to resolve the matter quickly so he wouldn't go out again.
